Students have been celebrating Literacy last week at Cheslakees Elementary School with many different activities each day. Having a local author Stan Hall in reading from his books and Mother Goose doing activities in the library this Tuesday morning started with coffee, muffins, and families reading in the classroom and ended with a variety of new books and each child picked a book to take home.

Fort Rupert Elementary School Grade 6 & 7 students host a Christmas Market on Friday, December 15th to learn about the activity of setting up a business or businesses, taking on financial risks in the hope of profit. Budgeting and marketing were the top of the list learned from these students with items that were made were sold to parents and the beach area community. Items not limited to brownies, cupcakes, dog biscuits, fudge, cinnamon buns, soaps, bath bombs, slime, and bannock. They were sold out and enjoyed.

All of School District No. 85 schools, Gwa'Sala-Nakwaxda'xw School, T'Lisalagi'Law School, and K'ak'ot'lats'i School attended this annual event with approximately 200 students participating. This event has been held at A.J. Elliott Elementary School since as long as anyone can remember with the principals' husband remembering running in the event and it is always been so successful.

]]>Fort Rupert Elementary School participates in Terry Fox run…….http://www.sd85.bc.ca/?p=8035
Fri, 29 Sep 2017 21:45:49 +0000http://www.sd85.bc.ca/?p=8035Our Cancer Awareness Run for Terry Fox was a great success and all students participated by either running or walking to raise awareness for cancer research. Thank-you to all staff, students, and parent volunteers who helped organize the event.

Spencer O’Brien, Olympic Snowboarder, came to visit Alert Bay Elementary School on Thursday, September 21, 2017. She spoke to the whole student body about her journey through life reaching to the Olympics and answered a tonne of questions students had. After the assembly, Spencer took the time to speak with each student who wanted to meet her and sign an autograph for them. Spencer was born in Alert Bay. The last time she had visited the school was after the 2014 Olympic Games. Everyone at Alert Bay Elementary School is very excited to watch Spencer compete in the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeong Chang.

On the first full day of the new school year, students at Sea View Elementary Junior Secondary School in Port Alice, took part in their first harvest of school honey! In anticipation of the big event, frames of honey-laden combs were removed from the school beehive the day before. A local beekeeper, Mr. Richard Watson, volunteered his time, equipment and provided a hands-on demonstration. Students, parents and staff had an opportunity to spin the honey frames and watch the extraction process from start to finish. The school ended up with about 26 cups of clear liquid honey in different hues of gold. Our first jar of honey (approximately 1 litre or 4 cups) will be raffled off as a fundraiser! Each student will be given a small jar of honey to enjoy at home with their families, with the remainder of the honey to be used in our Healthy Hungry Kids program.

The school has had a very exciting first few months with their bees; students, staff and volunteers have learned so much and the school is very proud of the honey that their bees have produced. In the coming weeks our students will be designing logos for their school honey and next year they hope to produce enough to sell; proceeds will allow us to sustain and develop the four braided strands of Sea View’s Healthy Hungry Kids Program: healthy eating, gardening, composting and bee-keeping. Sponsors whom supported: “The Bee Cause” who donated our observation hive; and Vancouver Island Health for the Community Wellness grant which enabled the school to buy beekeeping supplies and attend training.
